[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lookatthemonkeys:
I was sent a MPOW Armor Plus in exchange for an honest review. I will be honest in that I was not expecting much from the speaker. I have had bad luck with speakers in the past with them being too cheap, not loud enough, or hindered by always needing to be plugged in, or a small battery that dies quickly. I was very surprised with the MPOW Armor Plus speaker the moment I took it out of the box. The first thing you will notice is the nice packaging. The box has a foam insert with the speaker tightly snuggled inside. Next to the speaker is a small box that contains a mesh carrying bag and short length of cord to attach to the speaker. Under that box is a micro USB cable for charging, and an auxiliary cord to connect to non-bluetooth audio sources.

I was immediately surprised by the weight of the speaker. This is not some dinky bluetooth speaker. The unit has a good weight to it, which can be partly attributed to its built in 5200 mAh battery that can power the unit for up to 22 hours of music or be used to charge any USB device. I plugged in my Nexus 6P and it was charging at 1A and registered as A/C charging. I streamed audio to the device for 3 hours straight and never had a single audio or connection issue with the speaker. Also, after 48 hours of heavy use the built in battery indicator still showed 75% battery left. Speaking of the unit itself, the outside of the speaker is durable rubber around the outside including the buttons at the top which has all the typical controls. On the left side of the unit is a spot for attaching a cord or handle, and the right side of the unit has a small rubber door. Behind the door is a micro USB input for charging, auxiliary input, a full size usb port for charging a phone or tablet, a reset button, and 4 led light indicators displaying the current battery level. The unit also has a built in microphone for answering calls.

As I said, I was very happy with the use of the device. I was pleasantly surprised with how loud the speaker got. I was able to carry the unit around the entire house and easily fill up any room I was in with sound, including the bathroom with the shower running. This device will also give audio cues about connection status and max volume. I personally like the audio cues because you know for sure when the device is powered on/off, and also know when you hit max volume instead of always guessing what volume you are at. The unit will give a quick tone when you hit max volume. Pairing is also easy and the unit will automatically connect to the last device if it is within range.

The only small negatives I can say about the device are minor things. There is a blinking blue LED on the front speaker grill that constantly blinks when a device is connected. Some people may not mind this, but I personally can find this a little annoying, but it is not that bright. Also, while this device is water resistant, don’t plan on getting it too wet as the speaker grill has no waterproof layer and water could get into the inside of the device.

Overall, I was left very impressed with the MPOW Armor Speaker. I will be using this item every day around the house and on the go. They gave me a Amazon coupon code of N2ZP9IWL to use until 2/27/16.
